Drive Knight copied him on a genetic level and immediately got one shot lmao.
I don't know if that means he didn't fully copy him or Saitama was just passively that much stronger than before.
Saitama had so much aura in this chapter.

Drive Knight and Genos scaling is about to go crazy. They should at least scale above VGS, which is anywhere from being two one-shots above Darkshine to no-diffing Boros depending on how you interpret it.

I'd argue it to be the case when it happens in the manga.Drive Knight copied him on a genetic level and immediately got one shot lmao.

But webcomic Saitama is hard to talk about.
Limiter isn't biological.

nah a cybrog , DK is pure AI Robot but both are getting ****** with mentally , one got reprogrammed and slowly fed lies to believe are justice as for genos probably false memories and same thing trying to make MK be the enemy but if u look at previous chapters every time he start going haywire he come to his senses after thinking of saitama
this time tho its a bit too extreme so he might be tweaking out for real lol

Just finished reading the new webcomic chapter. Haven't felt this hyped for One Punch Man in a while.
So Metal Knight's enhancement gave him power equivalent to 1/3 of Darkshine and could push back Final Upgrade Genos with it. Guess Darkshine is still op asf in the webcomic unlike the manga.
The Organization's Enhanced Monster Squad is stronger than the Monster Association huh. Once the manga reaches this section Murata's probably gonna change stuff and say some of these monsters are Above Dragon.
Also seems like one thing the English translation left out for the webcomic translation was the section about Tatsumaki and Flashy Flash. Metal Knight actually called them 主力级 Main Force Class Heroes.
Kuseno being the antagonist was expected. About time they finally revealed that with how many people have already theorized it.
Drive Knight also has his own equivalent of Mode: Saitama huh. After this chapter Drive Knight might be in the top 5 of S-Class with his Saitama form. Also loling at the King form not working. King jokes will never not miss.

Crazy Drive Knight scaling indeed
He was already the strongest MG there to my understanding, among a group of MGs that "surpass the Monster Association" (which may include WC Golden Sperm), then he apparently absorbed these guys to use his final form

If he's an AI he can come back from worse
And actually, after Kuseno's arc is over, I can see them giving Drive Knight his original mindset and he would come back as an actual hero, hopefully

“Stronger than the Monster Association” is absurd, I know the webcomic version might as well be called the Loser Association except for Golden Sperm, but unless the manga changes the line, this is some insane power creep lol (for non-Saitama, Blast, and God-related forces, one-shotting all that is par for the course).

Chapters of the webcomic usually come in sequences of 2-3 in a short period of time before going on hiatus. Will we have more chapters of the webcomic soon?

The most Bofoi did was tilting his head though. I am pretty sure Genos could have killed him any time he wanted

WC? I don't think so.
Genos will either explode, or awaken his will without any restriction.

Anyway here are my thoughts about the chapter and really about something that irks me a little about the webcomic, nothing too bad though.
I liked this new WC chapter but it shows a few faults that irk me a little when reading it.
I feel like ONE relies too much on the audience having read the manga already to make some developments seem more "natural" than they actually are. Which, fair, might as well capitalize on that but it makes it harder to appreciate the WC narrative as its own thing and precisely in this chapter we have the two biggest examples of it.
Kuseno: He is a character that is absent for 98% of the WC and after his "death" its revealed he was actually a twist villain the whole time
Is it cool? Hell yeah
But one can't help but feel this is a rather sudden twist that should have gotten not only more set up but actually time to familiarize ourselves more with Kuseno before his "death". Like come on, he literally just finishes introducing himself in the same chapter he fakes his death.
ONE is aware of this issue, that's why he made him appear earlier in the manga in the Hotpot chapter and he overall has gotten more attention though it wouldn't hurt to give him further screentime before the reveal.
Drive Knight: In the WC he dissapears from the story for 100 chapters, comes back, shows off his forms against some fodder monsters and now its revealed he was a Robot the whole time and a pawn of Kuseno.
Again, cool but this is all rather sudden...
Most of the theorycrafting and hype around him came from ONE deciding to include him in the MA arc in the manga, letting him not only show off his powers but also sprinkling a few hints of his motives, methods and even a possible allegiance to the Organization...
And when Drive Knight fused with Genos that wasn't only cool but raised some eyebrows, not only are they somehow able to do that but their Cores look extremely similar.
So when this reveal happens it's really a payoff to people who theorized about the things he was shown to do in the manga rather than the webcomic
I've personally always treated the WC as a draft that is then properly fleshed out in the manga so it doesn't bother me that much but it's something that I've noticed and makes trying to evaluate the WC on it's own merits almost impossible.
It does make it pretty amusing to see the wc elitist types celebrating something that really only works thanks to the manga supposed "unnecessary fluff" though lol
